That colombian team was amazing, but it was just like us in 2002, great qualifiers, miserable world cup.

Spider that's a kick-ass signature
Maybe I should make something like that...

-Colonel Behrouz Soleimani, Deputy Commander of the Iranian 21st Infantry Division, following the Liberation of Khorramshahr

Thanks, I see the design is getting popular.

Colombia where world class in the early 90's Pele tipped them to win the world cup but just like Argentina they didn't even get passed the first round.

@spider have you seen that commercial of Marradona and the Guarana drink? Some argentines were so offended by him wearing the brazilian t-shirt for that commercial lol http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyilgQz3dSg&search=Maradona%20guarana



"Brazil has rediscovered itself, and this rediscovery is being expressed in its people's enthusiasm and their desire to mobilize to face the huge problems that lie ahead of us."
Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva

I've seen it before, but it doesn't bother me. It's rumored he was paid something between $150,000 to $1,000,000. I'd also wear the brazilian shirt and sing your anthem for a million. Lol.

Same here Spider

Didin't he get lyposuction?


"Americans never quit."

-Douglas MacArthur

he lost a lot of weight very quickly after that Cuba visit it makes you wonder.......


actualy he looks a lot better then he did I though he was on the way to an early grave and even if we did have the "incident" he is still one of the greats

No question there Lee he is definately one of the greatest.

I heard he had lyposuction in Columbia,Can any one confirm this?




"Americans never quit."

-Douglas MacArthur

It wasn't a liposuction, it was a gastric bypass.

Your signature is awesome.Was it in Columbia or Cuba he got it in?

It was in Colombia, that cuban clinic couldn't solve his weight problem.

Why wasn't maradona there in the game that they lsoe to colombia. And why did the colombian guy with big hair get fouled so much.
Maradona is the best soccer player every born. Pele don't come close.

Quote: Maradona is the best soccer player every born. Pele don't come close.

ah the age old debate

Personally I would say that Maradona was better than Pele, this even though I adore Pele and have is autograph. Pele was a clinical striker no doubt he did amazing things with the ball, but Maradona took it that extra step. However Maradona is not the best player of all time, and Pele isn't the best Brazilian player, that feat goes to Garrincha, who in my opinion was better than both Pele and Maradona. Bobby Charlton shares my opinion.

I agree he's the best ever. Just look at this pre-match warm up when he played for Napoli.



You probably have seen his greatest goal many times, here's with the audio from 86. Naturally, the comentator went nuts.
